    This book!!! The male protagonist stays up all night writing self-reflection reports required by the military, all in an effort to improve his skills and catch up with his wife! The female protagonist is very capable but lazy; she's rich and doesn't want to work at all, but her talent forces her to work and participate in scientific research!! Haha, it's really funny! After getting into university, she asked for leave every day, only to be taken to her best friend's traditional Chinese medicine clinic by her advisor. The doctor said the female lead was as strong as an ox, which was all lies, plus she was incredibly lazy, haha. The male lead's father was lazy and good-for-nothing, and his mother was manipulated by his father. His mother only cared about his eldest brother and ignored the other children. Things only got better after the male lead joined the army (later). The male lead always felt that the female lead suffered because of his parents, so he gave her all his money and was willing to spend as much as he wanted on her. But if the female lead spent money on him, he would say, "You can't be too good to me. Men can't be spoiled, they'll become useless." It's really funny. The second book features a female lead who was a university physics professor who thought the professor's life was boring. She transmigrated and not only participated in scientific research but was also appointed as the dean of a research institute by the leaders (the four research institutes initially didn't think highly of her, but everyone begged her to be the dean). She worries about whether the researchers are eating well every day! Super good! However, the downside is that it's not finished, but it's incredibly good. You can wait a while until it's finished before reading it for a more enjoyable experience. The third book features a female protagonist who travels from the future. The original body suffered from autism (the protagonist initially pretended, but later revealed her true nature). A casual sketch of a fighter jet drawn to amuse a neighbor's child was taken back to my country as intelligence by an enemy nation (they didn't know who drew it, only that it was a fighter jet). China sent troops to capture her, only to discover later that it was the protagonist. She then embarks on the path to becoming a technologically advanced nation.
